[QUOTE="Aaagogo, post: 389335, member: 30316"] it's just a personal preference of taking care of my battery when i'm home, my MBP is switched on only unless i have to carry it somewhere else. I know on my thinkpad that the battery will not charge if it's above 95% full, anyone knows if the MBP does the same? i have lots of friends who just leave their battery in their laptops and then plug it in when they need to used their laptops. i notice that the battery lifespan is greatly shortened, due to the constant charging of the battery. my thinkpad T41 is more than 3 yrs old and the battery on a full charge still lets me complete a DVD movie. where as my friend's battery can't even last a complete DVD movie after 9mths to 1 year. so i guess me taking extra care of the battery kinda works... and i don't think so i have to worry now, cause applecare takes care of the battery too for 3 yrs.... :D Apple rocks [/QUOTE]
